Abstract

A flying spot scanning system is provided by utilising reflected light from a multifaceted rotating polygon which is then directed to the scanned medium. A light source illuminates a portion of the mirrored sides of the polygon during each scanning cycle, to provide a desired sequence of spot scanning. In each scanning cycle, information is transmitted to the scanned medium by modulating the light from the light source in accordance with a video signal. An optical convolution of elements is selected in combination with the light source to assure a uniform spot size throughout the scan width on the scanned medium. One of these elements is a cylindrical lens placed in the optical path between the polygon and the scanned medium for allowing a wide variance in runout tolerance of the scanning system.
